I mounted this earlier this year. one of my first birds. I havent done any since, but i am getting ready to start again. if you have some constructive criticism or comments i would love to hear them.. i will try to take some more pictures another day, i just happened to already have this on my phone.

First it is an excellant mount for one of your first. I think the key to doing good mounts is the reference pics. I keep a file of old DU photos seperated by puddler or diver and standing or flying. If you have an actual photo of a live duck not someone elses mount the quality of your work will increase 10 fold. another good web site is michael furtmans natural world. I use it for taxi pics and when doing decoy repaints. he has every specie in almost every pose you could think of. but these pics right in front of you taped to the wall as you work on positioning and grooming the mount make it go much easier
